An Orleans Parish sheriff's deputy received praise from his boss Thursday after arresting someone accused of shooting a man during a robbery attempt in the Treme-Lafitte area. Sheriff Marlin Gusman said Sgt. Scott Williams used "his training and quick decision-making" to both apprehend 27-year-old Issac Hill and recover the handgun he allegedly used to shoot a man, thus removing "the threat of the suspect and his firearm from the community."

According to authorities, Williams was conducting an unrelated investigation when, from his car, he spotted Hill and another man fighting in the 1400 block of North Claiborne Avenue on Thursday about 7 a.m. Hill allegedly shot the man in the stomach twice, and that's when Williams approached the gunman, officials said.

Hill allegedly drew his gun again, but then he tossed it away and tried to run. Williams chased Hill, captured him and got the discarded gun, the Sheriff's Office said.

The unidentified victim was in critical condition and underwent treatment at Interim LSU Public Hospital. Investigators were questioning Hill later Thursday and were expecting to book him with aggravated battery as well as aggravated assault on the deputy, the New Orleans Police Department said.

At one point, Baldwin allegedly pulled out a razor blade, sliced the other woman and ran to a friend's apartment. The victim followed, kicked the door and was cut a second time by Baldwin, who was subsequently arrested on one count of aggravated battery, police said.

Cyclist robbed at gunpoint: A 24-year-old man riding his bicycle in the 2400 block of Columbus Street on Thursday about 12:15 a.m. was robbed when a silver car pulled in front of his path.
